I never imagined that marriage something I entered with so much love and hope would become the source of my deepest pain.
For years, I lived behind closed doors carrying a secret I couldnβt share with even my closest friends.
From the very first year, intimacy in our marriage began to disappear. At first, I thought it was stress from work or the pressures of newly married life. But as months turned into years, it became clear that it wasnβt just stress, it was a deliberate pattern of rejection and emotional cruelty.
What many people donβt realize is that sexless marriages can be a form of abuse.
I was constantly blamed, belittled, and made to feel unattractive and unwanted. My husband would shut me out, sometimes sleeping in the other room for weeks. He would remind me that βother women would be grateful just to be in this house.β
I felt invisible like a stranger in my own home.
I was still young, but I was withering inside. My self-esteem crumbled, I withdrew from my friends, and I even began to doubt my worth as a woman.
I tried everything I could think of: talking to him calmly, suggesting counseling, praying on my own. Nothing changed. The more I tried, the more distant and dismissive he became.
I canβt describe the loneliness of lying awake at night, pretending to be asleep while silently crying.
Worse still was the feeling that I had nowhere to turn. Divorce felt shameful. Talking to family meant exposing a pain I wasnβt ready to share.
It was during one of those low points that a colleague, who had once survived her own painful marriage, quietly told me about Dr Bokko.
She said that sometimes what looks like βcoldnessβ or βindifferenceβ isnβt just a personality issue sometimes there are deeper spiritual blocks or even external manipulations involved. Read more.
